Canvas is a friendly software, try it.
It is the best software to serve students with the variety of information. I usually get whatever I need from my instructors at the comfort of my zone.
- Canvas has a density of information and also it has a good visual features when using your laptop
- As a student it is easy to get all you want since it provides self-help features
- One can get assistance any time any where
- When using a handset, the visual may not be friendly

The previous software has no defined features than Canvas. Canvas works better.

I like the variety that offers
Verified reviewer
- I like the variety that offers and the options
- Value for money
- The only bad is that you have to pay extra for the more coplex designs

User-Friendly Learning Platform
Verified reviewer
- I like how easy Canvas is to navigate and how organized everything is
- It keeps courses, assignments, and communication in one place, making learning and collaboration simple and efficient
Sometimes notifications can be overwhelming or easy to miss, and a few features, like the grading or messaging tools, can feel a bit clunky or confusing at first

Canvas is Amazing!
My overall experience with Canvas has been amazing! I truly don't have any complaints for Canvas. The system automatically grades assignments (unless the instructor changes the settings for manual grading). All my messages to my instructors get sent and I never had an email be sent back through Canvas.
- The main aspect I enjoy about Canvas is the ease of understanding the system
- It took me an average of thirty-minutes to understand the layout of the system
- I enjoy that I can email my instructors from the software instead of opening another tab for the email website
- Plus, each course has its own link so the classes are nicely organized
- I can't think of a single aspect that I don't like about Canvas
- My institution used a different platform (forgot the name) but it is MUCH easier to navigate Canvas
- The other platform that was used in the past, had too many updates which would lock people out of the system

Schoology did not meet the requirements like Canvas does. Schoology had too many updates which would lock students out of the software.

Works to get you through school
Overall Canvas gets the job done for students. Mobile isn't always the best, but overall you'll see what you need.
- Canvas works very well to keep a calendar, view your assignments across multiple platforms, and can be very organized for assembling groups for group assignments
- Messaging classmates and professors is also a good addition
- Canvas on mobile does not always work properly and sometimes it does not add new classes you're in
- Messaging especially on mobile I've had issues where I could not select anyone to message

Canvas - The Versatility LMS
Overall, within the education field, canvas was a huge improvement from previous albums that I've used. Their versatility, the tracking, and the ability to organize your courses were simplified and very easy to do. It didn't feel clunky, it was very clean, and the user end had a positive experience and as a creator, I also shared that experience as well.
- Canvas is an extremely versatile LMS because of its capabilities to host and create different files
- What I like most about canvas is the ability to create pages that allowed you to link items from various resources
- As long as that link stays stable, the user would be able to open and access that link
- I also liked canvases capability to track several things about my users which include log in time, how long they were logged in, and if there were any required items to complete for assignments to complete, it would be able to track their progress and score which was essential for record keeping
- The main thing that I liked least about canvas was the creation of pages because it did require knowledge of coding in order to make the page appear and look the way you wanted it to
- Thankfully I do have experience with coding so I was able to set up the page to look and function as I wanted it to
- However, for some of my colleagues, they did have a harder time with that because of their lack of knowledge of coding and they were unable to achieve the kind of look that they wanted to do

The switch to canvas was made because it was a decision made by upper administration to move from blackboard to canvas.

Canvas is Better than Blackboard
I’ve been using Canvas for about 5 years, both as a teacher and as an Executive Director of a non-profit. Even though it’s obviously specifically for schools, it really has great features you can use for all kinds of projects.
- It’s incredibly user-friendly and their support service is great
- You can do everything from quizzes to links to full lesson plans on Canvas, and there are a ton of add-ons to make lessons more engaging and easy to use
- I seriously have nothing bad to say about Canvas
- It integrates with seemingly everything and I use it for everything from classes to clubs

Administration made the decision, and I started using it in my own organization.

Great for virtual class
Verified reviewer
- Love how easy Canvas is to use
- There was a learning curve but once I got in the flow it was easy to use

Google Classroom isn't laid out as nice and not as easy to use.

You're the Art on your Canvas.
My overall experience with Canvas has been great. Being a Student I use it almost every day. For me it has been a good experience. I would recommend all colleges/universities to use it.
- What I like most about Canvas is it's ability to show and keep my schoolwork in one place and pick up where I left off
- I as a student I use Canvas a lot and need it for my college work
- It is really easy to use
- It's really easy to navigate between courses and keeping them managed into one place
- I have had some issues with Canvas such as glitches, and bugs
- However, I have never needed to use Customer Service for my needs
- I believe it is still better than some of the other software's out there
